    thanks
    I'll have to go through the upgrades to .17 again first. I'm not at home today but will hopefully be able to do this tomorrow.

      Hi,

      Even if it is not officially supported.😊😊

        Lately we've noticed that we're getting a lot of "sorry living room light is not responding" (or pick another device) particularly when we go to bed. My wife asked last night, "what's wrong with Alexa these days?" I told Alexa to discover then it works. This has happened the past two nights.
        HS3PRO 3.0.0.500 as a Fire Daemon service, Windows 2016 Server Std Intel Core i5 PC HTPC Slim SFF 4GB, 120GB SSD drive, WLG800, RFXCom, TI103,NetCam, UltraNetcam3, BLBackup, CurrentCost 3P Rain8Net, MCsSprinker, HSTouch, Ademco Security plugin/AD2USB, JowiHue, various Oregon Scientific temp/humidity sensors, Z-Net, Zsmoke, Aeron Labs micro switches, Amazon Echo Dots, WS+, WD+ ... on and on.

          I'm trying to investigate the Alexa issues that happen specifically with HS 4.1.17.0
          If you have some problems with Alexa with other versions please open new threads
          Jez,
          zakrzep
          ,
          can you tell me if you are using the HomeSeer Home Automation Skill (i.e tell HomeSeer) or the HomeSeer SmartHome Skill ?

            This is what I get in the logs when running debug and issuing an Alexa command:

            6/23/2021 11:10:19 AM
            HomeSeer
            DEBUG JSON
            Query: request=echocontrol&command=ON&ref=258&token=117244771818771 77534

            Alexa response: "XXX isn't responding. Please check its network connections and power supply." XXX represents all HS devices that are shown in Alexa.

                      This error was using the Homeseer skill, not the Homeseer SmarHome skill. However, I haven't gotten the HomeSeer SmartHome skill working again either. It is currently disabled.

                        I am using the homeseer smarthome skill.

                          I upgraded to 4.1.17.0 on Linux. I am using the "Homeseer" skill. All of my devices can still be controlled by Alexa, and I did not refresh or reconfigure anything on the Alexa side. It simply works.

                          In related news, 4.1.17.0 fixes the long-standing bug with Google Home getting device status from HS. I didn't have to re-sync or otherwise mess with my Google Home/HS4 settings. Yay!

                              I am also using the homeseer smarthome skill. Stopped working after 4.1.17.0. And to clarify, I am on Windows. That might be the difference between some users working on Linux?

                                To turn off json debugging, run the following script command
                                hs.debugmode=0
